I flew a waypoint mission on Autoflight a couple of weeks ago where the signal connection got squirrelly. At first I thought my speed was programmed too low but when I studied the flight data the signal went extremely low and looked like it lost it a couple of times. It didn't do the RTH but...

I saw someone posted that Autopilot 3.0 was released. Has anyone tried the waypoint features? They look awesome. How does it compare to Airnest? Airnest looks like a real simple app to use. I'm surprised DJI doesn't step up to the plate with similar features in their app.

Just bought the new HAV1 sun shield from Hoodman today at a photo expo. Attached are some photos showing how it works. I haven't had a chance to try it in the sun yet, but this looks to be the best one of all that I tried. It's made for the iPad mini and they are about to release some for the...

My guess is the upgrade failed to install. Mine did the same thing not once but twice. I ended up using a clean sd card reformatted on the Phantom before it worked. I don't know about your TXT file but mine too said success on the first line when it didn't upgrade properly. I finally realized...

Can't believe you started a post that implied a lot but ended up being nothing. Of course we know it will eventually come out. My guess is after iOS 9 is released because that's when the third party companies will release their apps. Hopefully DJI will come through then. The video shows it as...

Can anybody provide a step by step on how to do this with a Mac and iTunes/iOS? I guess I'm dumb. I looked at the screenshots, but in iTunes, I've never seen a way to access the folders for the apps. When I used another OS app, it had no info there either for any of my apps. I know for...

I've seen the posts about rolling back firmware, but it's been six weeks since DJI has even done a firmware release. Does anybody have a clue when the next one will come out? There have been lots of postings about the current version being buggy especially with the VPS, which most everybody...

I'm pretty sure the Dallas Cowboys and a couple of other NFL teams just got nailed for using drones to film practices. Largely because it was for commercial purposes. Those videos weren't even public. If you live in a metropolitan area it's not worth the risk. I'm sure there are enough licensed...

Ordered mine today. Wanted to point out that Dave sells gimbal locks/lens covers that fit the Polar Pro filters, which I ordered too. I just got my Polar Pro filters and they have a rubber gripper on the outside edge which made my previous lens cover useless.

It depends on the size of your laptop. A 13" might fit in the very front pocket. It's not padded though. It might be a hassle, but you could remove the foam insert, put in the laptop and then reinstall the insert. There's lots of flexibility on the top side of the P3 storage area, so the...

I own the standard. The deluxe uses a 5.11 Rush 72 backpack. The standard is the GPC version of the same pack. The quality on the standard is excellent but I won't be using it as a hardcore backpack. Unless you're an adventure photographer doing some extended hiking and climbing, the standard...

Prop guards can go in the slot on the opposite side of where the props are stored. Technically it is a tablet slot. Unless you're flying low or indoors I would leave them behind. The GPC backpack will hold everything and then some. I have both and will actually sell the DJI backpack.

I just got kicked out of flying at a lake close to my house. The area I was flying is a public access area but nobody was there. Because of recent flooding there are a lot of COE people about. Anyway one saw me flying and told me I couldn't fly there. He was a little unsure so he went to get...

The Bestem ones are the best! Easy on and off and no problem storing in the DJI hard shell backpack. I use mine while flying around trees and they help me with bad eyesight on orienting the drone when doing line of sight.

I'm in Grand Prairie. Even ordered the gimbal guard from you. I'm flexible on time if you want to meet.
